The opportunity to shoot Dante and Ellie’s E-Session was a great way to spend a weekend! Especially for me because Dante was one of my roommates during the college years, so anytime I get to see him is a good day. We decided to shoot in Bedford, so the day before their shoot I had one of my second shooters (Sean) go out and scout out a good location. Sean found a great place that suited this wonderful couple perfectly. Thanks to Dante’s romantic side coming out (which also helped the comedy aspect) we captured some fantastic pictures!  We had such a wonderful time and I’m thankful for great friends like Dante and Ellie.

When Tracy first contacted me and told me that she was getting married in a vineyard I tried to contain my pure excitement! What more could someone ask for than shooting a wedding in vineyard ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN?! I was so excited about this opportunity and after meeting with Dan and Tracy for a consultation, I knew it was meant to be. On the day of the shoot we had such a great time and laughed more than we probably should have, but we had an incredible time. Once we started shooting and Tracy and Dan got they’re picture faces on, we strolled all over the vineyard and captured some amazing images! About two hours in we decided to drive around in an attempt to mix up the backdrop and spotted an old barn that would be perfect. I’m sometimes hesitant to go on unplanned excursions with my couples, but Tracy was in the field before we could get out of the car, so I knew they were down! After getting permission from the little old lady who owned the barn, we marched up to it and got some images that made it all worth it. What a great day with a great couple!

This lovely couple is not only good looking, but they’re pretty cool too. Chris and Kristina are actually friends who’ve recently gotten engaged and were coming in to town to attend a bridal shower for my sister-in-law (well at least Kristina was). Kristina had shown interest in having us shoot their wedding, so we decided to set up an engagement session and squeeze it in while they were in town. After they had just finished driving 6 hours from Pittsburg, we got them back in the car and hit up the Lynchburg country side looking for a good location. After about an hour of driving we found a pretty little spot on the side of a backroad, climbed a barbed wire fence, avoided some big o’l cow pies, and started shooting. They were great, the session went awesome, and we got some fantastic pictures! We are incredibly excited for their wedding next year!
